On the utility of female genitalia in the systematics of Curculionidae: examples from Entimini and Hylobiina (Coleoptera : Curculionidae)
(SOC ENTOMOLOGIQUE FRANCE, 2008)
The utility of the female genitalia and associated sclerites (tergite and sternite VIII) in the systematics of the Curculionidae is discussed. Examples from the tribe Entimini (Entiminae) and subtribe Hylobiina (Molytinae: ...

Genus Plesiommata Provancher (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Argentina: first detailed description of the female genitalia and comparisons with its neotropical congeners
(Blackwell Publishing, 2017-02)
Plesiommata Provancher is a sharpshooter genus with six species described, three present in the Neotropics. The morphology of the female genitalia of this genus is still poorly known. In this contribution, the female ...

(BMC, 2014-01-09)
Background
Among the vectors of Chagas disease (Hemiptera: Reduviidae:Triatominae), there are eighteen Rhodnius species described and some are difficult to identify. The aim of this article is to contribute ...

Characterization of the external female genitalia of six species of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidade) by scanning electron microscopy
(Fundacão Oswaldo Cruz, 2010-05-01)
By macroscopic and microscopic dorsal side observation, it was noted that the IX and X segments of two species each of Panstrongylus and Triatoma terminate in an elongated way, whereas they terminate abruptly in the two ...

(American Arachnological Society, 2010-12)
The female of Orsolobus pucara Forster & Platnick 1985 is described and its genitalia examined using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). A small phylogenetic matrix with female genital and sexual behavior characters ...
Experimental demonstration of possible cryptic female choice on male tsetse fly genitalia
(J. Insect Physiol. 2009 Nov; 55(11): 989-996, 2009)
A possible explanation for one of the most general trends in animal evolution – rapid divergent evolution
of animal genitalia – is that male genitalia are used as courtship devices that influence cryptic female
choice. ...
